I did not actually stay here, but came for a works Xmas do, which was held in the ballroom. The hotel decor is fabulous - very luxurious and embellished with gilded and marbelised ceilings and you can see that a lot of cash has been spent on renovation. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the food and service. Each... more

Stayed at the Penventon again in August while visiting family and had a small family party in the Lady Edith suite. Everything was very relaxed and well managed, the food was of good quality and the staff extremely helpful and friendly. Did not manage to use the pool but it looked nice. Fantastic breakfast with local jams and grand yet... more

Stayed at this hotel during a business trip to Redruth. The dated styling is bearable at first appealing until it becomes apparent that the dining menu and procedures are equally dated. To arrive at 8pm, ask for a dinner table for 9, then to be asked to sit in the bar having a drink while orders are taken, to proceed... more

I stayed here for a friends wedding recently and have to say had an enjoyable stay apart from a couple of frustations which slightly soured the whole experience. The check in was quick and effcient, no portor but that didn't bother us as we are both young and fit, and they did just have about 100 people turn up at... more

I travel down to Cornwall on a regular basis and decided to stay at an independent hotel for a change. When I pulled up to the hotel it looked really posh and I was quite excited to enter. Upon entering I found that no-one seemed interested in checking me in. Upon getting my keys I then had to ask where... more

My wife and I stayed at Penventon last weekend and had a superb time! We live in Cornwall and got married there 5 years ago and returned to celebrate for 2 nights. We stayed in the same room as last time with the 4 poster bed although it has been updated since and now has a Jacuzzi bath. The food... more

I stayed at the Penventon for three nights for a business trip, and was looking forward to the experience of a traditional independent English hotel, as I usually stay in hotels overseas, of which the vast majority are part of large global chains. On reviewing the website before my departure my expectations were set for an “old style” hotel with... more

This Georgian manor house hotel close to the centre of Redruth manages to maintain good old fashioned standards despite being hemmed in by suburban and industrial development. The public rooms are beautifully maintained, the staff well presented, attentive and helpful. It has a good indoor pool and Jacuzzi - an unusual bonus in a hotel of this style (though it... more

I Have stayed here a total of 6 times, given its location for travelling around Cornwall. The hotel is rather dated - grand decor, the rooms are tired but clean. The staff are all very friendly and service is very good. Initially the bar area seems very small given that the restaurant is busy every night of the week with... more
